Five or so years ago, my boss at the time (a decent, smart dude) was telling me how his grade school-age son was geeking out on Elon going to Mars. I quipped, "Oh good, can he stay there?" Boss responds, "Interesting." Many times since then, I've thought that I bet he now understands what I was driving at.

2025-01-25 05:52:23 +0000 UTCIt's almost unfathomable how little mainstream media is saying the word Nazi. This is how Nazis come to power

2025-01-23 16:01:07 +0000 UTCAdding onto the "roman salute" bit, that's what neo-Nazis call the sieg heil salute. They don't call it a "nazi salute" or a "sieg heil". If you spend any time looking at fash chatrooms or anything like that, you'll quickly see them talking about "roman salutes" or "throwing a roman"

2025-01-22 19:57:37 +0000 UTCThe ADL response is absolutely insane. Great ep. Fuck Elon Musk.
Brian Long
2025-01-22 18:56:54 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Fuck Elon Musk, being autistic has never made me sieg heil. I saw Scott Jennings on tv yesterday saying January 6ers and “violent Civil Rights protesters from the 1960s” were the same. Fuck it’s going to be a long four years and the media is just glossing it all over.
